Why is Air Quality Testing in Vancouver Important?

Vancouver has a warm humid climate that is suitable for mold growth. Mold is recognized as one of the major causes of poor indoor air quality and can have a great effect on your health. Since we spend an average of 90% of our everyday life indoors, the quality of the air we breathe is very important to our health. The air quality indoors can be 6 to 10 times more contaminated with airborne mold spores than the outdoor air in some homes and workplaces. Airborne mold spores are not visible to the naked eye and most of the time are odorless. This means you could be inhaling excessively high quantities of airborne spores without knowing. The only way to be sure that you are not exposed to hazardous mold is to test the air.
